AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Bank Directors Trustees for Deposj-
tors as Well as Stockholders.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June 1s.--An impor-
tant decision has been rendered by the SUI
preme Court in bank case which has been
in the courts for several years. Gardner
Case was a depositor in the Bunker Hill
bank, at Bunker Hill, Ill. The bank failed
while holding his deposits, and he brought
suit against the directors individually. IL
was claimed that If the deposits were re-
ceived when the directors, by exercising due
diligence, might have known that the bank
was insolvent, they were legally liable for
the deposits. The Circuit Court of Mscou-
pin county gave Judgment in favor of Case
and the defendants appealed to
the Appellate Court. which affirm
ed the decision of the court
below. The case was then carried to the
Supreme Court which again affirmed the
decision Of the court below. The opinion
declares the following doctrine: First, that
the directors of bank are trustees for the
depositors, as well as for the stockholders;
second, that they are bound TO the observ-
ance of all ordinary care and diligence, and
are hence, liable for injuries resulting from
its non observance.

BUSY AMERICAN BANDITS.
THEY TAKE THEIR EASE IN ROB-
BING A TRAIN.

Two Men Board the Locomotive and
Force the Engineer to Run the Train
to Where the Gang Are in Waiting
Over $4,000 Booty Secured-No
Arrests, as Usual.
HoUsToN, TEX, June 1S.--The most
daring train robbery that ever occurred in
Texas was perpetrated this morning at
o'clock, short distance from Schulenburg,
on the Southern Pacific railroad. As the
train drew up at the station two men with
drawn revolvers mounted the engine, COW
cred the engineer and compelled him to pull
the train out to the open prairie, few hum
dred yards to the east, where the fire was
burning, around which stood eight or ten
men, armed with Winchester rifles The
two robbers on the engine stood guard over
the man at the throttle, while the others
went through the mail, express and passen-
ger cars.
THEIR SAUNDERS RUDELY BROKEN
Nearly all the passengers were asleep and
did not know what was going on until they
were aroused by the robbers The first man
tackled 10y the thieves was W. Newberger,
OF New York, whom they struck on the
head with revolver They secured from
nm $40 IN cash and several diamonds and a
gold watch, valued at about $1,000 r. G.
Mayer, of Cincinnati was relieved of $35.
X, L. Armstead, of New York, gave up 500
he had larger amount of money with him,
but 1T was hidden in the sleeping
car. A gentleman from Mexico,
whose name could not be learned,
lost 800. All of the passengers lost
what valuables they had and it is difficult
to form any estimate of the amount of the
money and jewelry secured tisreckoned,
however, at 5000. Wells, Fargo g. Co. s
express car was also gone through, but tho
amount OF money taken from it cannot be
ascertained No mail route agent was on
the train, but the through mail pouches in
the express car were all cut open and their
contents appropriated. The total amount
secured by the robbers is put down at IS, 900
or $4,000, but when a careful revision of
the matter is made the figures may be
changed. There is no doubt but that con-
siderable booty was secured, and the gang
made off with it successfully. The whole
country is aroused and in arms. Several
parties have gone in search Of the robbers.

New YORK, June 1S.-There was another
sharp decline in coffee on the Coffee Ex-
change this morning, and for a while it
looked as II repetition of yesterdays big

price for July coffee was 1890, and bidding
on the first call this morning was 1910,
showing decline of nearly &c. per bag.

there was better feeling to the close. Sales
were quite large, 10l, $50 bags being disposed
